1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15 1 Corinthians 15:1-19 From the truth of Christ's resurrection Paul inferreth the necessity of our own. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 Christ the first-fruits, being raised, shall be followed in due order by those that are his, 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 till having subdued all enemies he shall give up the kingdom to God the Father. 1 Corinthians 15:29-34 If there be no resurrection of the dead, in vain is it for any one to risk his life, as the apostle did continually. 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 The manner of the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 The change which shall be wrought at the last day in the bodies both of the dead and the living. 1 Corinthians 15:58 An exhortation to stedfast faith and perseverance in our duty. The apostle, towards the conclusion of his Epistle, comes to reprove the Corinthians for an error in the doctrine of the resurrection from the dead; an error, though last mentioned, yet of all the most momentous. The resurrection of the body in the last day is an article of faith, to the firm belief of which reason speaketh not sufficiently, and therefore it was denied by many philosophers and worldly wise men, Acts 17:18. It should seem, that some in the church of Corinth had sucked in some of their notions; the apostle, therefore, in this chapter setteth himself to confirm that article of the Christian faith. To this purpose he begins, telling them, that that which he declared unto them was the gospel, that is, that doctrine of the gospel which he had before preached to them, and which they had heard, and believed, and embraced as the truth of God, and wherein the greatest part yet stood firm to their former profession, though some of them had been seduced and warped.
